Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1567

Zachary gazed at her, feeling utterly helpless. He switched on the TV, and a surveillance video popped up, revealing Lena inside the secret room.

Lena sat huddled in a dim corner, clutching her knees tightly.

She kept count of the days—this marked her third day there. It hadn't been long but felt like an eternity in this gloomy environment.

Surveying her surroundings, she found no escape route. Facing whoever lurked beyond was equally challenging. She had no choice but to wait for an opportunity.

During these days, Zachary diligently delivered her meals. Even though they lacked flavor, she ate every crumb. She understood that losing hope wasn't an option in such dire circumstances. She had to wait patiently, preserve her energy, and prepare for her escape.

Zachary paused the video and turned to Sasha, his eyes searching for answers.

"Do you... truly want me to eliminate her?" he asked.

Sasha was visibly irritated and rolled her eyes. "Why do you have so much to say?"

Zachary sighed again. "Even if you're not twin sisters, Lena... She's far from ordinary, and eliminating her won't be easy."

"What are you getting at?" she asked.

"You witnessed it yourself. She can eat and sleep in these conditions. What does that mean? She's conserving her strength, figuring out how to deal with us!"

"Then we should eliminate her even more!" Sasha snapped. "Zachary, you're not going soft on her, are you?"

Taken aback, Zachary fell silent.

"In any case, I don't want to see her anymore!" Sasha glared at Zachary. "You promised my mother you'd take good care of me. When I was young, you promised to help me with anything I wanted. Are you thinking of going back on your word now?"

"Sasha..."

"Enough!" Sasha's voice trembled. "You're just a stray dog my mother rescued! What right do you have to control my life?!"

Zachary's eyes widened, and his fists clenched.

Disbelief consumed him.

He never imagined that the girl he had raised with such care, the one he had protected at all costs, the girl he had been willing to steal and rob for when they had almost no money, viewed his years of devotion as nothing more than a stray dog begging for scraps...
